Wainuta Falls
The way we did this excursion was by booking a tour with Rivers Fiji (called "A Day on the Luva"). This tour provided all the kayaking equipment as well as all the transport as they picked us up from the Hideaway Resort when we did this trip. The kayaking was very easy because they provided very robust inflatable kayaks made for beginners. Thus, first timers like Julie and I were able to do it. In addition to the kayaking (and motorboating on the main Navua River further downstream), we also toured the Nakavika Village, which was an authentic Fijian village deep in the Namosi Highlands. We actually partook in a welcoming ceremony where we were greeted by the village chief while also having a drink of kava. The overall experience here was so educational and interactive that we considered this to be one the highlights of our Fiji trip back in 2005. Directions: Since we did this as an organized tour, we didn't need to concern ourselves with logistics other than allocating a whole day to do it. Rivers Fiji is based in Pacific Harbour, which is on the Coral Coast in Southern Viti Levu. Since we stayed at the Hideaway Resort further west, they had no trouble providing ground transport to their office where they equipped us and had us ride a different vehicle well equipped for the dirt roads leading to the Namosi Highlands.
